I have something in the heating of my house, the moment it kicks off, a tak tak tak sound goes. NO ONE but me hears it. I am helluva light sleeper, so you can imagine the sleepless night I been going through.

solution - sleep pillow app. I had downloaded it long ago, and used it just once. Out of desperation though, I turned to it again. I use the first option of river/water sound, and it effectively drowns all other noises, but is not distracting. First night I used it, I passed out for the whole night. Now, I do periodically wake up coz of something or the other (that's just me being a light sleeper), but go back to sleep within 1 second of hearing this.

hmm dunno.. I did a quick google about some caveman internal bio clock. guess the last full moon was nov 13th, and next is dec 13th. and my worst week was end of nov.

I just am a light sleeper (not always though). even as a kid, when sis and I used to share a room, and she used to come in late at night, I would almost always raise my head to ack it. She used to hate it, coz she could never play a late night prank on me.

Just last week, I woke up screaming from a dream. In the dream, I was in my room late at night, and it was dark. Suddenly my room door opens and 2-3 people walk in, a woman and two men, shouting at me to move and sit in a corner, indicating clearly they were burglars. Then they flashed some red laser at me. I got very scare and tried to get out of the bed and fell down. Then I tried to alert XH. So I screamed, but you know how you can't scream in dreams. So in my dream I said XXXXXXXXXX, and then I woke up, but continued screaming, thus finishing with a highly stifled sounding HHHHHHHHHHHH. Then I opened my eyes and saw red light flashing on the window curtains. It was just the cops doing their 2 am round.
